I guess Ill give some background on the project. Here at my company the Marketing Dept., with the help of the IS Dept. setup at least one computer at every branch. This computer is hooked up to a TV, or several TV's in some cases and the computer runs a Power Point to help keep employees up to date on my company's news. Well currently when they update the power point presentation they have to logon to every computer at every branch and download the new power point. Then stop the old one and start the new one. I'm trying to make this 30 - 45 minute weekly job about 2.

What I have so far is code that opens a browser so they can browse their computer and the network and select the newest power point file. Then I have the program stopping the power point process on the remote computers so I can copy over the old file. After that I do that copy, and I then would like to start power point and then start the slide show in power point. I'm stuck at starting the power point remotely. I can start power point fine, however it always starts as a background process and you only see power point running in task manager under processes. So I thought well I can make two scripts. Id prefer one but if two will work then so be it. So I wrote some cheap little code that does some send keys thinking Ill put that on the computer then start it remotely. Well I can start it remotely but it also stays in the background and you never see power point open on the console, just running in task manager.

Ive tried modifying my script accordingly so that it should start up in the forground but I cant get it to work correclty. Anyone want to give me a hand? Im open to just about anything that will make this work for me. I can provide my code or parts of my code if needed, just let me know what you need to know. Thanks in advance.
